A Good Poison Dragon Grass

"Senior, please don't." Song Shuhang immediately stopped him. "Three days ago, Miss Yurouzi already sent two of my teachers to the hospital. One is still in the hospital, and the other is the British professor you just met, leaning on a cane. If you send a few more teachers to the hospital, anyone would find it suspicious."

"Ah? Yurouzi already did it? Tsk, that's troublesome. If I send another teacher to the hospital, it'll be too obvious." The Pharmacist pinched his chin, looking regretful. "What a shame, such a brilliant plan was used by someone else first."

Song Shuhang added, "Besides, this isn't a good place to refine Body Tempering Liquid. My roommates could come back at any moment. If they knew you dragged me out of class to refine some so-called pills, they'd definitely send both of us to the Dashishan Psychiatric Hospital."

There was no need to doubt the 'kindness' of his three roommates; they would definitely do it.

The Pharmacist sighed, "Mortals are really troublesome. Little friend Shuhang, why don't you break free from the mundane world and join one of the sects in our group? Several of our sects are quite good, ranking among the best in all of China. For example, the Daluo Sect, Tianya Yunyou Temple, Spirit Butterfly Island, and Xuanhuang Sword Sect are all very famous among cultivators."

"I'll consider it," Song Shuhang replied. Perhaps one day, he would choose to join a sect, but not now. According to cultivators, he still had worldly ties and his thoughts were not clear, making him unsuitable for joining a sect and focusing on cultivation.

"But can you really not spare any time this afternoon? If not, I could cause some accident and make the entire academy suspend classes? That way, no one would be suspicious," the Pharmacist suggested calmly, making Song Shuhang's heart tremble.

"Senior Pharmacist, please absolutely do not do such a terrifying thing," Song Shuhang said seriously. "I just need to request leave. I've already prepared the leave request form."

"If you take leave, won't your learning progress fall behind your classmates?" the Pharmacist asked with concern.

Which is more serious: my personal learning progress, or an accident involving the entire academy?

"Please don't worry. I can catch up on the missed classes by simply finding a classmate's notes. I've been having a lot of insights in my studies recently," Song Shuhang assured him.

The Pharmacist said, "That's great! Then let's find a place to refine the Body Tempering Liquid!"

"How about we look for a rental house outside the school?" Song Shuhang suggested. He had already planned to rent a place, so he might as well get it done today.

"Hmm, that makes sense. We do need to rent a place. I might need to stay here for a few days, and it's not good to not have a place to stay," the Pharmacist nodded. "Shall we head out now?"

The Pharmacist was impatient, which was consistent with his demeanor in the group chat.

"Okay, let's go," Song Shuhang said, taking out his wallet and bank card.

As he reached for his wallet, he saw the pot of Poison Dragon Grass on his computer desk.

Then, Shuhang asked, "Senior Pharmacist, you mentioned in the group chat that you wanted to collect live Poison Dragon Grass. Do you still need it?"

"I've acquired some from fellow daoists in the group, but their quality is only average, not very good. It's a bit lacking for the quality needed for my experiments, so I can only make do with it for now. Do you have Poison Dragon Grass?" the Pharmacist inquired.

"Here, it's right here," Song Shuhang pointed to the Poison Dragon Grass by his computer.

To be honest... Song Shuhang's luck was truly extraordinary. Fifty to sixty years ago, the Spirit Butterfly Venerable used Poison Dragon Grass as a formation anchor. If it were other medicinal ingredients, the Pharmacist wouldn't have been lacking.

The Pharmacist only then noticed the purplish-black pot of Poison Dragon Grass. "Interesting. I've been in this room for so long, and I didn't even notice this Poison Dragon Grass!"

Keep in mind that the Pharmacist had been dealing with medicinal ingredients for over five hundred years. Even in deep mountains and old forests, as long as a spiritual medicine was growing, he could find it with his eyes closed. Yet, this Poison Dragon Grass was placed right next to Song Shuhang's computer, and he hadn't noticed it for such a long time after entering the room.

What was special about this Poison Dragon Grass?

Thinking of this, the Pharmacist walked over to the Poison Dragon Grass and began to examine it carefully.

He sniffed it, squeezed it, and then plucked a small tip from a leaf to taste.

"Very good. This Poison Dragon Grass has grown in a place rich in spiritual and ghostly energy for fifty to sixty years, and it was once used as a formation eye. Its quality is above average. Because it was used as a formation anchor, it seems to have mutated and possesses a certain hidden ability. That's why I almost missed it," the Pharmacist said with a smile. This quality perfectly met his requirements, and its mutation made it very valuable.

Song Shuhang asked, "Does this Poison Dragon Grass meet your needs, Senior Pharmacist?"

"It's exactly what I need... So, are you planning to sell it to me?" the Pharmacist looked at Song Shuhang and smiled. "But let me tell you first, Poison Dragon Grass itself is a relatively precious medicinal ingredient, and the value of this particular plant is extraordinary. For example, the value of those two boxes of Body Tempering Liquid that Miss Yurouzi gave you is less than one-tenth of this Poison Dragon Grass. So, are you sure you want to sell it to me?"

"It's useless to me if I keep it. Besides, if you hadn't freely shared the modified Body Tempering Liquid Elixir Recipe in the group, I wouldn't have had the chance to truly get in touch with cultivation," Song Shuhang said.

The Pharmacist shook his head. "Even without my recipe, as long as you stay in the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces, you would eventually come into contact with the existence of 'cultivation.' And the value of that Elixir Recipe varies from person to person. For Master Tongxuan and True Monarch Yuyue, because their sects support a large number of disciples, the Elixir Recipe is very valuable. But you are just a beginner cultivator, a lone individual. For you, the value of the Elixir Recipe is definitely not as high as this Poison Dragon Grass."

The Pharmacist carefully cupped the Poison Dragon Grass in his hands, then closed them together, and the Poison Dragon Grass disappeared.

Song Shuhang asked curiously, "Spatial ring? Storage bag?"

"Not those precious spatial equipment. Spatial equipment involves spatial rules. A storage bag of fifty cubic meters would cost me all my assets," the Pharmacist laughed heartily. "This is just a similar subspace spell, a 'personal medicine field' mastered by every alchemist. This method can only be used to transplant medicinal herbs; nothing else can be moved. When your cultivation reaches rank four or above, you can also learn this minor technique; it's very easy to master."

Song Shuhang nodded, understanding somewhat.

"Speaking of which, I originally just wanted to find inspiration from you to perfect and simplify the Body Tempering Liquid. And I also planned to guide you in basic sword techniques and meditation methods to help you achieve a hundred-day foundation. I didn't expect you to prepare such a great gift for me. In that case, I feel a bit embarrassed to teach you the meditation methods and basic sword techniques I prepared earlier," the Pharmacist said, taking out his phone and logging into the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces. He wasn't someone who would take advantage of a junior. Since Song Shuhang had given him a high-grade Poison Dragon Grass, he intended to get Song Shuhang two slightly more advanced cultivation techniques... at least better than the common ones he had on hand.
